A tetradrachm was a silver coin worth 4 drachmas minted by the Ionian Dionysiac performers (or Dionysiac Artists). The era of the coin roughly overlaps with the period when the flute-player Kraton son of Zotichos was involved with the performers, serving as priest of the group at one point (see other inscriptions from Teos on this site).
